3 ways of doing this kind of thing
1/ Some of those methods have 'ancilliary' methods which can be overridden
like 'DoShow'
2/ Overload Show with a different signiture ie Show(string: Caption) you can
still call inherited Show, this will work if
you are calling Show on the Child Class
3/ You can override the event handler code (since most of these methods
trigger events)
